Scripture reminds us that leadership is never outside of God’s sovereign reach. Proverbs tells us that the king’s heart is in the Lord’s hand—that He directs it like a stream of water. No matter who holds office, God remains the ultimate authority.

Praying for our president—whether we agree with every policy or not—is not optional for believers. It is a biblical calling. In 1 Timothy, Paul urges believers to pray for those in authority so that we may live peaceful and godly lives. Prayer is not about political preference; it is about spiritual obedience and national stewardship.

When we pray for our president, we are acknowledging that wisdom, protection, discernment, and righteous leadership come from God alone. We are entrusting the future of our nation to the One who truly governs all things. Even when leadership decisions feel uncertain or troubling, prayer anchors our hearts in the truth that God is still at work.

Presidents come and go. Administrations rise and fall. But the Lord remains faithful. As we lift our leaders before Him, we participate in God’s purposes for our country and the world. Prayer is not passive—it is powerful.

May we be faithful to intercede, trusting that God hears and moves according to His perfect will.
